Russian forces are seeking to launch a massive strike on Ukraine during the last cold days of this winter. The Russian forces cannot resist such a temptation, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s evening address, APA reports citing RBC Ukraine.
According to Zelenskyy, intelligence reports indicate that Russia is preparing for further massive strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Therefore, it is essential that air defenses are fully prepared.
"Russian attacks are constantly, if one can put it this way, 'evolving.' Evil evolves too, unfortunately. These are combined strikes that require special protection and appropriate support from our partners," the president said.
The Ukrainian head of state warned that any delays in supplying missiles for air defense contribute to amplifying the consequences of Russian attacks. Therefore, all agreements with partners must be implemented promptly.
He also noted that the Ukrainian delegation has already arrived in Geneva and is preparing for negotiations with Russia.
"Russia cannot resist the temptation in the last days of winter and wants to strike the Ukrainian people painfully. The greater this evil from Russia, the harder it will be for everyone to reach any agreements with them. Partners need to understand this — above all, the United States," the president said.
